Jacob and his popsicle

I wasn't quite sure if Jacob would remember what a popsicle was, considering this time last year he had never had one! Amazing how much changes in just one year. This time last March, Jacob wasn't even walking yet!

The weather has been great all week. Even though it was cloudy Monday afternoon, we headed outside where he saw the little girl who lives behind us was carrying around a popsicle. I remembered we had some in our freezer, so we headed inside for a treat.Then, we headed outside to enjoy the treat some more.


He had a wonderful time, until he stuck the popsicle on the fire hydrant. So, I bit the tip off and spit it out. Yes, I had a taste of some fire hydrant germs - who knows what was on that. Better me than him though, right? The things you do as a mom. I could just feel a meltdown if I took the whole popsicle away, so I improvised. Sounds better than just being downright gross.

And this is what Jacob looks like when he wakes up from a nap after his first day of getting fresh air after a long winter....
